Single Source of Truth (SSOT): Why You Need One in 2026
SSOT (Single Source of Truth) is the concept where every data point has one single official home. If you want the customer's address, you look at the SSOT. If the address changes, it changes there. Any other system just "reads" from this source, never duplicates.
The death of conflicting versions
Without SSOT, board meetings turn into fights over which number is right. "My sheet says we sold 100." "Mine says 95." With SSOT, the number is one: what's in the system.
Jestor as the Company Truth
This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- Change History: If the address changed, Jestor knows who changed it and when, keeping the truth auditable.
- Real-Time Updates: There is no "D-1." The truth is now.
